185 Investigating the Truth (2)

“It’s not like I’m the old master of the town. What’s the point of spending this money… Sigh, wouldn’t it be a waste for me to wear it?”

His heart ached, and his eyes were burning.

Father Su carefully put away the crown and went to the kitchen to see his chubby daughter.

Was it an illusion? Why did he feel that his daughter had lost a lot of weight recently…

“Father, you’re awake.” Su Xiaoxiao greeted him.

“Yes, I just woke up.” Su Cheng walked over with a serious expression.

“Do you like the crown?” Su Xiaoxiao asked.

Su Cheng said, “It’s not easy for you to earn some money. Why did you buy that thing? It’s not like the countryside people are interested in wearing that.”

Villagers rarely used wooden hairpins. They wrapped their hair in cloth.

Su Xiaoxiao cut a piece of ginger. “My father has to have what others have.”

It was a very casual sentence as if she was saying that the weather today was so good that it was the best time to pick some cabbages.

Su Cheng’s heart was boiling hot.

“Daughter…”

“Don’t cry!”

Su Cheng held it in for a second…

After Su Xiaoxiao cut the ginger slices, she chopped some chili.

Su Cheng peeled garlic for her. “Daughter, did anything happen in the prefecture capital this time?”

“No, it was fine.” Su Xiaoxiao heated the pot.

“Did you beat anyone up?” Father Su asked.

“I didn’t,” Su Xiaoxiao said confidently.

Father Su felt very comforted. His daughter had grown up and didn’t beat people up anymore.

“Ergou beat him up.” Su Xiaoxiao added.

Father Su’s body trembled. “Who, who did he beat up? Could it be that young master from the Prefecture Lord’s family?”

“No.” Su Xiaoxiao waved her hand. “We have already beaten him up. If he doesn’t come to us, we won’t beat him up a second time. We’re reasonable people!”

Father Su said hesitantly, “Then this time, the one we beat up is… ”

Su Xiaoxiao said nonchalantly, “Oh, he’s from the capital. He’s the High Duke of the Public House.”

THUD!

Father Su fell!

Father Su angrily went to teach his son a lesson.

Just as he reached the door, he saw Su Ergou holding a heavy bucket with both hands and getting out of the carriage with great difficulty.

Liu Ping wanted to take it, but he refused.

“There’s water here. It’s easy to spill it. The bucket lid doesn’t work either. I’ll do it myself. Brother Liu, move aside.”

He was 14 years old and was carrying a bucket that was heavier than a stone block. His palms were red and the veins on his arms were throbbing.

“Father!” Su Ergou carried two buckets of water down. When he looked up and saw his father, he smiled innocently. “I got you spring water from the prefecture capital! It’s so sweet!”

Stupid child, who the f*ck would bring two buckets of water all the way here…

Father Su’s heart swelled as he clenched his fists.

Forget it, he would beat him up next time!

Over the past few days, nothing had gone wrong with the family’s business. Little Wu was becoming more and more proficient in making snacks. In addition, with Little Madam Zhao helping her, the production of snacks increased immediately.

The accounts at home were also handed over to Little Wu to record.

It was her first time doing accounts, so she replaced the words she didn’t know how to write with drawings. It was quite decent.

Su Xiaoxiao flipped through it. “You did a good job.”

It was clear that she was not as professional as Su Yuniang, but for a beginner, it was already commendable.

Looking at the numbers, Su Xiaoxiao was shocked.

In the past, when she made three hundred pancakes, her net profit could reach more than two taels. Coupled with one tael from the braised meat business, she could earn four taels a day. If the quant.i.ty was higher, it would not exceed five taels.

But what happened in the few days she was away from home? Why did the profits double?

There were still so many pancakes…

Su Xiaoxiao exclaimed, “A hundred coins?”

There were several accounts, and the wife cakes were sold for 100 copper coins each.

Who was so arrogant?

Madam Wu said in a low voice, “These girls were from the Yihong Courtyard.”

Su Xiaoxiao said, “Do they like Li Xiaoyong?”

Li Xiaoyong was indeed a little handsome.

Madam Wu said, “No, they were there for Uncle Su.”

...

Su Xiaoxiao was speechless.

… .

Su Yuniang returned to Little Su’s house at noon the next day.

Su Xiaoxiao originally thought that she went out to “do something” to avoid suspicion with Father Su. After all, everyone in the family had gone out. If she was alone at home with Father Su, they could be gossiped about.

Who knew that this little rich lady was really going to do something big?

In the east room, Su Xiaoxiao was recording the accounts.

Su Yuniang gulped down a few mouthfuls of tea. “My legs have been broken from running for the past few days. My mouth is dry and I’m almost exhausted to death. The heavens don’t disappoint those who work hard. I’ve really found out something.”

“What did you investigate?” Su Xiaoxiao asked.

“Old Su’s family background.” Su Yuniang said, “It has something to do with your family.”
